Measuring behind and of course nervous

maisonduchoco2

Just rambling right now since I'm still nervous. I went for my 1st appointment last Friday and was 8wks 1d based on LMP. Since I wasn't temping, I am not positive when I ovulated. Anyway, we heard a wonderful heartbeat in the high 130s but the tech and OB said that I was measuring 5 days behind.  The OB pushed my EDD back since it was a big enough change.  Boo.  Also, I have a SCH but hopefully that will go away on its own without too much fanfare.  My next appointment is just a blood draw for the Harmony test on the 29th and then the NT scan a week and a half later.  I really, really hope everything is fine since those dates seem so far away from now.  PgAL brain is just going crazy even though this is normal.

Try not to fret you could have 1. Ovulated late 2. Implanted late As it is the first u/s it doesn't matter where you start but how you progress. The heartbeat sounds great. All very promising.

Thank you! I know I also need to stop comparing this pg to others. With the one I m/c, everything was fine and normal until 12wks. I know my experience is nowhere near as tough as many other women on this board though. You ladies are so strong and the positive energy from here really does help. DH and I haven't told anyone yet and it's killing me, so I only have the boards as a place to share my random thoughts. Sometimes I don't know what's worse, untelling people since we shared so early last time or not sharing at all right now.

Wow! Your stats are similar to mine. I also have a small SCH and am about 7 weeks. Though my losses were earlier than yours...we are not telling anyone! Not even my mom knows, because I don't want to untell people again and be a failure again. It is less stress for me to be hush hush. My first u/s also measured behind in terms of my lmp but I run a long cycle so I know I most likely just ovulated late. It's stressful but stressing doesn't help. I just rest a lot and try to be healthy. That's the most helpful thing I can do. And pray like crazy of course lol!

A piece of me wants to start planning but it's terrifying, so I am annoyed with myself for not being able to talk about childcare, names, gear, etc with anyone IRL. My ILs and my SIL were wonderful when I m/c last time, so I think I am just confused why DH doesn't want to tell them yet this time. He's probably trying to avoid having them hurt with us, but a selfish piece of me finds comfort from their support. My mother, on the hand, was not very supportive and I refuse to tell her until we are ready to tell the world.

Anyway, good luck to us! It's also nice to know I am not alone :-)

Congratulations! These early weeks can be scary. Try and take each day as they come- easier said than done I know. I agree with PP that the measurements could be off and that you could have ovulated later. I had a SCH with my 2nd that resolved itself by 13 weeks. Just take it easy on yourself.

When I got my BFP this time I immediately told the women in my life who were my support when I had my MC. It is a very personal choice, but you should do what feels right for you.

Sending hugs and great vibes! Everything sounds good!

Thank you again ladies!

@nohalo21, how did you know the SCH resolved by itself? Just through a follow up scan? That's great to hear!

@smcniff, I am tempted to tell a few really close friends. However, I also want to respect DH's wishes in not telling people. If it gets too stressful for me, then I will bring it up with him again.

It was discovered around 9 weeks. I had a follow up scan at 13 weeks to check on it and it was gone. I was on pelvic rest, also no lifting or exercise since I was having bleeding with it.

Just try and stay positive. I always told myself- don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.
